The Chicken (watch the video)
It was only a chicken, with no hopes or dreams, unaware of it’s imminent destiny: Sunday’s lunch main dish. In a rare instinctive spasm, it decides to escape flying over the fence. The now lunch-less family start to chase the direction-less bird. An adaptation of the hilarious homonym short story by Clarice Lispector.
